Mercedes-Benz 770KBuilt over two generations between 1930 and 1943, the Mercedes-Benz 770K was one of the most advanced cars of its day, with a 7.65-liter V8 engine and armor plating to protect its occupants in case of an attack. It was favored by high-ranking German officials. The cars were also given as gifts by the German government to other, friendly leaders, while a number of cars were commissioned by various kings and dictators over the course of production. Each car featured coachbuilt bodywork built to the exact specifications of the commissioning party, with the interior decked out in the most luxurious materials available.The 770K was only ever built in low numbers and plenty of examples haven't survived to today, but the few that do command price tags well north of $1 million on the rare occasion they appear for public sale. Its close association with the Third Reich means its legacy is somewhat marred, but nonetheless, it stands as a testament to the advanced engineering and world-beating luxury of the German car industry at the time of its creation.Mercedes-Maybach S-Class by Virgil AblohThe Maybach S-Class is already one of the most luxurious cars of its kind, but Mercedes-Benz unveiled a limited-edition collaborative edition with the late Virgil Abloh in 2022 which added even more bespoke touches. Abloh is best known for his stint at the helm of Louis Vuitton's menswear range, alongside his work as the founder and creative director of the pioneering streetwear brand Off-White. The S-Class bearing his name takes design inspiration from the Project Maybach Off-Roader concept, which debuted alongside the production car.The concept's two-tone sand and black color scheme is carried over, alongside the distinctive Mercedes-Maybach and Virgil Abloh branding. A unique UI greets users of the infotainment system, with a color scheme that matches the rest of the car. In addition to the S-Class itself, buyers also get a leather-bound gift box including, among other things, a miniature 1/18th scale replica of the car. An Off-White clothing collection was also launched alongside the car, featuring the same sand and black color palette and prominent branding for Off-White, Mercedes-Benz, and Maybach on every piece.Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman GuardThe "Pullman" moniker has been used for decades by Mercedes-Benz to denote its most palatial limousines, but the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Guard added a new twist to the old formula: blast resistance and armor plating. Combining the armoring of the S600 Guard with the stretched-out grandiosity of the S600 Pullman, the Pullman Guard was the perfect transport for politicians, dictators, and anyone else who needed maximum protection from potential attacks while on the road. The limo met the highest standards of attack resistance, with armoring that could withstand gunfire and explosives, and a 530-horsepower twin-turbo V12 to make a hasty escape.Its interior was typical Maybach, with a cabin designed around the rear seats, and swathes of fine leather upholstering almost every surface. Rear curtains ensured that the VIP being transported could enjoy total privacy, but they were kept informed of what was going on through three analog instruments in the headliner displaying outside temperature, speed, and time. Like any Maybach, the options list for the car was almost endless, and the final pricing would depend on the exact demands of the customer. Then again, anyone in a position to be considering a Pullman Guard in the first place is unlikely to need to even consider the price tag.Mercedes-Maybach G650 LandauletThe first off-roader from the Mercedes-Maybach sub-brand, the G650 Landaulet chopped the top off a G-Wagon and fitted the kind of rear seats usually seen in one of Maybach's S-Class sedans. The roof could be removed at the press of a button, giving the rear occupants a view of the sky, but could be closed again just as easily for better privacy. The cabin also featured a host of innovative features including a glass partition that could be raised between the front and rear seats, and strangely enough, individual thermal cup holders which could both heat and cool drinks.A total of 99 units of the open-top G-Wagon were made, each with a biturbo AMG V12 engine churning out 621 horsepower. Very few luxury cars are designed to be true off-roaders, but the G650 Landaulet is the exception to the rule. Will any of its ultra-wealthy owners ever use it to go off-roading in style? Probably not, but at least they'll have an SUV that's rarer and more luxurious than any of their other well-heeled friends.
